There are countless causes of helicopter crashes, but some common causes include:
- Defective manufacturing
- Inadequately trained pilot
- Defective aircraft design
- Pilot error or other human factors
- Aircraft maintenance negligence
- Air traffic control — government or contractor error
- Helicopter pad operator negligence
- Obstructions
- Poor weather conditions
- Metal fatigue
Unfortunately, most of these causes involve basic failures by those responsible for operating and/or maintaining the helicopter, and almost all are easily preventable.
